outside looking in

we met under dark skies,

the golden light seeping through the cracks.

It clashed with your blue eyes

and danced with mine in illicit acts.

I remember in the dark,

how a smile played at your lips.

You were an incandescent spark,

the light in my total eclipse.

I was drunk on the sounds of your laugh,

the way it held the gaze of my soul,

I wanted more than I could have,

but it wasn't I who quietly stole.

Take my thoughts, my head, my heart,

I whisper softly unto you,

drown your sorrows as we fall apart,

as you promise that me dreams come true.

I remember when you passed me by,

and I first went weak at the knees,

I put down my sword, swore to try,

as I fell into you with ease.

I'll swear to the stars above,

and to the raging seas below,

that I knew I was in love,

and there wasn't anywhere I wouldn't go.

I hope I get to love you,

time and time once more,

gaze into your eyes so blue,

a story in the stars of lore.

So if I can't have you in this life,

then I know we'll meet again

my hand will always fit in yours,

even from the outside looking in.
